Last night at #NAFF we saw So. Africa's entry for Oscar Foreign film called THE HEART IS A MUSCLE. It's a story of 3 father/son groupings whose lives collide over the course of growing up. Can the privileged son of a violent father break from that violence for the benefit of his own son and to help the a man who suffered at his hands when he was younger. Also saw an art film on five residents of KHARTOUM and how they are surviving the conflict in Sudan.

To lighten the mood we saw a comedy called THE FISHERMAN which was also about generational change and the struggle to adapt traditional ways to modern times. A magical talking fish is involved! Then back to serious DIYA is about the conflicts that the traditional practice of paying blood money for an accidental death can cause. Striking film. Not at all what I expected. If you are a fan of film festivals, try to find some of these near you. 3/3

WHEN NIGERIA HAPPENS also includes a story of the dilemma younger people face when caring for an elderly parent is involved. Here a group of twenty somethings dancers dream of making it as internet influencers. The harsh reality of the need for $ to care for a parent with dementia produces some tragic consequences as the troupe learns reality doesn't always yield to your dreams. This story could have taken place in any poor community any where. 2/3

Here's an idea of what's been playing at #NAFF. The Moroccan selection for the Oscars is CALLE MALAGA - a film about the descendants of Spaniards who fled to Morocco when Franco ran Spain. The main character is an 80 year old women born and raised in Tangiers. Her daughter shows up out of the blue and demands the mother move to Madrid as the daughter is selling the mom's flat! It's a story of resilience and the fight for dignity among the elderly. 1/3

I haven't had a streak longer than 4 days since my 23 day streak a couple of weeks ago.

Seems I'm more at risk of slipping back down to 75%, or lower, than I am likely to bump up to 77%, or higher.

Ah, well.

Yay! I did not, in fact, get it wrong 😮‍💨

I haven't checked the math, but maybe I can get to 77 or 78 percent correct by the end of March 🤞🏿

Ugh. I made it to 23 days again but got yesterday's wrong because I doubted myself, and I think I'm going to guess wrongly again today because, wtf?

Well, thanks to a few educated guesses and a few I knew immediately, I finally got to 76% (on a 19 day streak, one of my longest) which I haven't reached in probably over a year.

I don't remember for sure what my highest percentage was, but I think it was 78%.

Getting to 80%, eventually, would be awesome, but that's not a realistic goal. For now.
